A Biograph film which has the originality and life of all the Biograph productions. A girl packer in a shoe factory places a note in a shoe in which she says she is good looking and a good housekeeper and would be pleased to hear from any well-intentioned gentleman who might find it. The shoes fall into the hands of a grouchy customer who returns them and refuses to trade longer with the store. The note is returned to the factory with the statement of its effect. The girl is called before the manager and discharged, but the manager is so struck with her appearance that he reinstates her. As he sees more of her he is more and more attracted by her and finally deciding that she is out of place he has her discharged on some trumped-up offense. She goes sorrowfully to her mother and says that she doesn't know why she was discharged. While they are talking the door opens and the manager enters. He starts in to scold her savagely, telling her that as a shoepacker she is a failure, but as his wife she would be a great success. The acting in this picture is good, like all the Biograph acting, and the whole is carried out with a uniformity which leaves nothing to be desired. It is an exceptionally good picture and brought hearty applause in one theater. - The Moving Picture World, May 15, 1909
